— What You Can Expect —

Join a unique, guided temple expedition with a professional guide at Tirta Empul. Choose between meeting your guide at Tira Empul's entrance or enjoying the convenience of Ubud transfers in an air-conditioned vehicle. Commence your journey by passing through the ornate Candi Bentar (temple split gate) and explore the Nista Mandala. This area serves as the connection between the temple and the outside world, featuring the entrance to the sacred pond. Within Nista Mandala, you'll encounter a serene koi pond and the Bale Banjar, a temple gathering hall.

Adjacent to the Nista Mandala is the Madya Mandala, where the pools used for soul purification and healing rituals are located. Your guide will provide step-by-step explanations of the local spiritual cleansing practices, which include a meditation performed in front of the altar. Witness locals offering prayers to the gods, water spirits, and their ancestors while placing their offerings on the altar. As an optional activity, you can participate in the spiritual cleansing experience.
